Abstract

Matthew Brauer interviews Moroccan contemporary artist Karim Rafi about postcolonial creation in the 2020s in "Sounding the State of the World.” Beginning with Rafi’s shift to remote performances during the COVID-19 pandemic, the discussion approaches confinement as just the latest in a series of crises in North Africa and the world. The repeated experience of crisis opens a conversation about the contemporary experience of time, broached in relation to modern Moroccan art history, which emerged from and against the conservative institutions of the French Protectorate (1912-1956). The interview touches on a range of distinctive concerns in Rafi’s art practice, from sound installations to gardening, which he brings together in multimedia performances and hypermedia objects that register the cultural and political forces shaping art in the 2020s, while reactivating their radical potential for relation apart from capitalist commodification. © Purdue University.

聆听世界现状:对Karim Rafi的采访，2021年夏季

马修·布劳尔(Matthew Brauer)采访了摩洛哥当代艺术家卡里姆·拉菲(Karim Rafi)，讨论了21世纪20年代的后殖民创作。从Rafi在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间转向远程表演开始，讨论将禁闭视为北非和世界一系列危机中的最新一场。危机的反复经历开启了一场关于当代时间经验的对话，与现代摩洛哥艺术史有关，这是从法国保护国(1912-1956)的保守制度中产生并反对的。采访触及了拉菲艺术实践中一系列独特的关注，从声音装置到园艺，他将多媒体表演和超媒体对象结合在一起，记录了21世纪20年代塑造艺术的文化和政治力量，同时重新激活了它们在资本主义商品化之外的激进关系潜力。©普渡大学。

期刊介绍： The intellectual trajectory of CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture is located in the humanities and social sciences in the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies designated as "comparative cultural studies." Comparative cultural studies is a contextual approach in the study of culture in all of its products and processes; its theoretical and methodological framework is built on tenets borrowed from the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies and from a range of thought including literary and culture theory, systems theory, and communication theories; in comparative cultural studies focus is on theory and method, as well as on application; in comparative cultural studies metaphorical argumentation and description are discouraged; the intellectual trajectory of the journal includes the postulate to work in a global and intercultural context with a plurality of methods and approaches, and in interdisciplinarity in the study of the processes of communicative action(s) in culture, the production and processes of culture, the products of culture, and the study of the how of these processes; the epistemological bases of comparative cultural studies are in (radical) constructivism and in methodology the contextual (systemic and empirical) approach is favored (however, comparative cultural studies does not exclude textual analysis proper or other established fields of scholarship).
